--can't believe this...where's that map...

[Evening, Johto. It's about sunset as the video comes on, though it's pretty much by total accident. The owner of this gear, one obviously rumpled and tired Toushiro Hitsugaya, doesn't even notice the thing is recording as he tries to get the map from his bag. Of course, it's useless in the back alleys of Goldenrod, which is where he appears to, and judging from the expression on the face of his Golduck standing behind him, they're lost.

Yep. His sense of direction in a town this large that he's never been to, is absolute crap and he knows it if the expression on his face says anything about that.]

We'll have to turn back. Come on.

[He turns to leave the alleyway and retrace their steps, Golduck right behind him and the flashes of orange fur at his ankle showing his Growlithe is right at his side. But then the puppy stops suddenly, turning to the entrance of another alleyway that the sun is just shining through, growls, and darts into it before her trainer can grab her.]

Hey---tch.

[He chases after his Growlithe, only to stop when he gets halfway to her and appears to see something from the corner of his eye. He turns his head, but before either he or anyone watching can see what caught his attention, a cream streak darts out from the shadows and his Growlithe starts barking again.

Of course, it's too late to do anything about that, and Hitsugaya loses his footing as the streak, obviously some kind of quadrupedal pokémon, lashes out at his face. The gear goes flying from his hand and skitters across the ground, turning off upon impact with something but not before there's a tremendous crash, the sound of breaking glass, and a surprised cry from the young man in the alley. Seems trouble follows him wherever he goes.]

[China turns in his seat. Little Bi-Han sitting comfortably in his lap. He smiles a little.]

Of course I did, aru. I wanted to see if you would be okay or not.

[Well that's...that's enough to get him to smile faintly; a guy who's still pretty much a stranger took this much time out of his day when he must have better things to do, to sit and wait for him. That doesn't happen often with people he doesn't know, really.]

The nurses said I'd be back to normal in a few weeks, so long as I don't aggravate the injury. I'm fine.

That's a relief to hear then, aru.

Do you need any help to where you're staying, or do you plan to stay at the Center tonight?

No, thank you. I can make it to the Hotel from here on my own. The rest can wait until morning.

[And it doesn't involve going back into those alleyways, either. Thank goodness for that.]
